Hey everyone,

A new campaign is soliciting interest over on Armorama. Called What If 4: Machines of the Mind it is a free-fire zone for your imagination regarding military vehicles. From new markings to completely different variants of well-known vehicles, pretty much everything is allowed in this one.

While the main thrust is military vehicles, civilian vehicles and even ships and aircraft are OK as long as you can make an imagined military connection.
Currently, we are looking to run Feb 1 through Nov 1, 2014. Here’s a link to the thread where you can indicate your interest and as soon as we get 10 people, we can submit a formal bid to start the campaign.

Here are the rules we used last time and we’ll be using them again unless better suggestions arise.

Operational Overview

The aim of the what if campaign is to follow in the footsteps of the last What If campaign and allow users of Armorama to continue to create models and dioramas depicting what if scenarios/vehicles and possibly ships and aircraft if they are appropriate to depict different scenarios from alternative points in history. This will give modelers a chance to create something different and will encourage members to use their imagination to think of alternative scenarios that may have happened or may happen in the future. This campaign will run for one full year to accommodate the needs of the members here on Armorama so that participants have the chance to fully explore all the possibilities for projects while juggling life and the many other great campaigns of 2014.

The Rules and Regs

-All scales are welcome.
-All possibilities are fair game as long as they are reasonably possible on a theoretical level. Please provide a backstory behind your proposed project.
-Game/Sci-Fi elements are allowed. This includes T2K, Fallout, Dust, Gundam Hard Graph, etc. Again, please provide a backstory for your proposed project.
-This campaign is intended to focus on ground forces. You may include airborne/waterborne/space elements as long as the main focus is on the ground forces subject.
-Partial builds requiring the majority of work to still be done are allowed, as well as builds from other campaigns provided that they are either used as part of a diorama constructed for this campaign or are significantly altered/modified for the purposes of this campaign.
-At least three in-progress photos, including an initial photo depicting the start of your project, must be posted in the official forum, more are encouraged. At least two photos of the finished project must be posted to the official campaign gallery.
